Madrid, Spain, Jan 30, 2013 \/ 04:18 pm (CNA<\/a>).- \u00a0A replica image of Our Lady of Czestochowa is currently traveling throughout Spain on a pro-life and pro-family pilgrimage that will span 12,000 miles and 23 countries.<\/p>\n

\tDubbed \u201cFrom Ocean to Ocean,\u201d the tour began last September in Vladivostok on Russia\u2019s Pacific coast and will conclude at the Shrine of Fatima on the Atlantic coast of Portugal.<\/p>\n

\tOrganizers of the tour hope that \u201cthe number of people who discover and defend the dignity of the human being from conception to natural death will continuously increase.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe famous image of Mary, normally housed at the Jasna Gora Shrine in Poland, has been in Spain since Dec. 15, visiting more than 25 dioceses.<\/p>\n

\tIts stop in the region of Murcia was especially significant as the area was hit by a 5.1-magnitude earthquake in May 2011, which left nine people dead and 324 injured, in addition to causing widespread damage.\u00a0Masses, holy hours and other services were celebrated as the icon visited the region\u2019s cities of Vera Cruz and Lorca.<\/p>\n

\tIn the region\u2019s capital city of Murcia, the icon visited the Poor Clare convent, where the nuns gathered for a special rosary. The convent is one of the important architectural sites in the city, as it was constructed over an ancient Arab palace.<\/p>\n

\tFrom Feb. 7-14, the image will be in Madrid for a series of prayer vigils in defense of human life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tThe icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa \u2013 one of the most venerated images in Poland \u2013 depicts the Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus in her arms.\u00a0Throughout its history, it has been the target of numerous attacks that have left marks on Virgin Mary\u2019s face and neck.<\/p>\n

\tBlessed Pope John Paul II had a special devotion to Our Lady of Czestochowa and kept a copy of the image in his papal apartment at the Vatican.<\/p>\n
